What a crazy week. I've still managed to make it to some shows, reviews will be forthcoming.

First, I mentioned a little bit ago I've been obsessing over the Arcade Fire song Cold Wind (download it here). That song is still awesome. But I bet you'd like to hear more new Arcade Fire tracks, wouldn't you? I know I do. I'm happy to help: apparently, the new record is going to be called Neon Bible, and you can call 1 866 Neon Bible (extension 7777) and hear one of the new tracks. The sound quality is what you'd expect for a phone line, but the track is good. I've already called several times, I can guarantee you that it works.

Jeri Yeti has a great top 10 list up, totally cracked my shit up. I agree, although I would add that Sufjan Stevens should be #2, the only reasons he doesn't take the top spot being TVOTR and the fact that he didn't release a new record this year. People love Sufjan a lot.

I hope to start posting my best of lists next week.

I'm totally in love with a record from a Boston band called Christians & Lions. The record is called More Songs For Dreamsleepers & The Very Awake. It's beautiful and awesome and will get its own post shortly, possibly with some tracks.

My friends over at A Tune A Day and Flux=Rad have made some excellent year end mixes, you should check them out.
